I would be pure for there are those who care,

I would be giving and forget the gift,
I would be humble for I know my weakness,
I would look up and laugh and love and lift.

We just ask for reciprocity. ~Jerry R. Ensey

Ensey (The Word of Knowledge)

The Bible is clear that Jesus, the Son of God, prayed to the Father. By portraying the Son as praying to the Father the Bible is making a distinction between the Father and Son The Bible makes a distinction between the Father and Son hundreds of times, so this should be no surprise. We cannot and should not deny these distinctions. To recognize and affirm them in not an affirmation of Trinitarianism, for both Trinitarians and Oneness believers alike confess these distinctions, but understand their nature and origin differently. ~Jason Dulle

“What Jehovah was in the Old Testament, Jesus was in the New. Jehovah was the I AM, Jesus is the I AM. Jehovah was the King of Kings, Jesus is the King of Kings. Jehovah was the Redeemer, Jesus is the Redeemer.” ~Billy Bass
